0:45Now PlayingMorgan Harper warns that consumers are feeling increasing pressure even as some labor-market indicators remain relatively stable.
She says wages are not stretching as far as prices continue rising for everyday goods, including beef, while gas has climbed back above $4 a gallon.
Harper also warns that repeated economic shocks and another round of tariffs could further strain household budgets and make it harder for consumers to sustain even modest GDP growth.
“If these shocks continue... it’s not clear consumers are gonna be able to keep up.”
